I see all these ads on craigslist that look like they selling weed. They wont actually have the words "marijuana" or "cannabis" or a picture of it in the ad, but they put in obvious code words like 420, smoke, strains, 1/8th, grand daddy purp, sour diesel, girl scout cookies, nugs and buds. What if I called the seller and asked them for some "girl scout cookies", I go pick it up and its an undercover cop. I never asked for or said marijuana, weed, pot, or cannabis. I asked for "girl scout cookies" (which is the name of a strain). If the person selling it is an undercover cop, could I use a defense like "I didnt know this was marijuana" or "I thought this was girl scout cookies" or something like that? Is it common for cops to bust the people trying to buy the weed, or do they only go after the sellers on craigslist? Have you or anyone you know ever bought weed on craigslist?
I make the posts asking to buy weed. I've gotten 4 great dealers and a bunch of shitty ones off craigslist. Never found a cop yet though. Granted I live in a college town so there are a fuckton of dealers.
I bought cannabis of CL before but I have a medical card and everyone on there says they need to verify you first.
I can see it now...well a week ago I bought weed off CL and was in jail since because I couldnt bail out lol
How will this work? You ask for girl scout cookies...you get weed....pay for it...Then the cop continues his investigation. Maybe selling to you a few more times. Then when he has enough evidence, you will decide to claim that the flowered material you were spending a good chunk of change on is not a cookie sold by the girls scouts? How exactly do you figure this would work? If you're buying from an undercover, they're not going to immediately bust you. They will do it later on. Now the odds a cop is fishing for people through CL is pretty low, doesn't mean it's impossible.
what are they investigating? if you're just a regular toker then you're just tryna buy some weed, which is really all they need to know to arrest you.. I think OP's idea isn't bad, but I wouldn't do it. So you go meet the guy, and be like "you got the cookies?" if the guy pulls out some weed and sells it to you, then you get arrested, then it's you're fault.. because you just purchased weed knowing it was weed. but if they guy just starts to arrest you, you can be like "what the hell man? I thought you were talking about some cookies!" either way it's sketchy as fuck.
I know a cop personally who would occcasionally sell weed to kids. He'd record the deal. Then come back a few more times. Then bust him later on when he had enough evidence. But his idea is bad. Because even if he gets arrested on the spot, the kid would have to completed the transaction. The cop wouldn't arrest him for asking for cookies. He would arrest him after he gave him money for the cookies, which once it's in his hand it's clearly not cookies.
just makes no sense to me but okay bro lmao. po-po can't arrest until he sells to kids on the corner another 4 times, must be a rule.
He can arrest the first time, i never said he couldn't, i even gave a scenario where he would arrest him the first time. What makes more sense, giving a ticket for small time sale of a narcotic, or giving several charges on purchasing a schedule I narcotic. If they're going through the effort of selling to kids/adults, they're going to make it worth their time. Not to mention, hard to pull the "it was a one time thing" to the judge when you've made several transactions to the same cop within a certain time frame.
